Proteinaholic
Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession with Meat Is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It | Howard Jacobson, Garth Davis, M.D.
1 post | 2 read
An acclaimed surgeon specializing in weight loss delivers a paradigm-shifting examination of the diet and health industrys focus on protein, explaining why it is detrimental to our health, and can prevent us from losing weight. Whether you are seeing a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them advise to eat more protein. Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control, to gain or lose pounds, while others believe it gives them more energy and is essential for a longer, healthier life. Now, Dr. Garth Davis, an expert in weight loss asks, Is all this protein making us healthier? The answer, he emphatically argues, is NO. Too much protein is actually making us sick, fat, and tired, according to Dr. Davis. If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency. The healthiest countries in the world eat far less protein than we do and yet we have an entire nation on a protein binge getting sicker by the day. As a surgeon treating obese patients, Dr. Davis was frustrated by the ever-increasing number of sick and overweight patients, but it wasn't until his own health scare that he realized he could do something about it. Combining cutting-edge research, with his hands-on patient experience and his years dedicated to analyzing studies of the worlds longest-lived populations, this explosive, groundbreaking book reveals the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to weight loss, health, and longevity.

danielle_framed @BarbaraTheBibliophage we are really enjoying it! He references a lot of research studies so it can be heavy at times but there is so much good information! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @danielle_framed I like it better when authors reference research, especially in this category! 6y
